Corbett National Park : India’s first and finest national park spread over 520 sq. Kms. along the banks of the Ramganga river, just 300 Kms. northeast of Delhi in the foothills of the Himalayas is the Corbett National park.
Established initially as Hailey National Park on August 8, 1936 in honor of Sir Malcolm Hailey, then Governor of the United Provinces, the name was changed to Ramganga National Park in 1952. In 1957, it was finally named as Corbett National Park in honor and memory of the late Jim Corbett, the legendary hunter, naturalist-turned author and photographer who had helped in setting up the park and demarcating its boundaries.
The elevation of the park ranges between 400 meters and 1210 meters. The multipurpose shydel dam at Kalagarh lies at the southwestern fringe of Corbett. The lake inside, with its scenic charm, has added to the beauty of the park. Many species of water birds, both migrant and non-migrant, frequent its waters. Crocodiles and the long snouted fish-eating Gharial have found new homes here and their numbers have increased. They can often be seen sun basking on the sand banks. For anglers too, the lake is a paradise. Fish, such as the Mahaseer, abound in the lake and river.
The park offers different kinds of vegetation all along its varied topography which comprises hilly and riparian areas, temporary marshy depressions, plateaus and ravines.
110 species of trees, 51 species of shrubs and over 33 species of bamboo are found here. There are three distinct seasons in Corbett, Cold-Nov. to Feb., Hot-March to June, and Rainy-July to Oct. Over 50 mammal, 580 bird and 25 reptile species have been listed in the Corbett. Also astounding is the insect life here. Corbett is a known haven for tigers, largely owing to the success of WWF funded project-tiger that was launched on 1st April 1973. Other animals which add to its attraction are: Leopard, leopard cat, jungle cat, fishing cat, Himalayan black bear, dhole, yellow-throated morten, elephant, porcupine, chital, barking deer etc. Some of the birds commonly seen here are osprey, crested serpent eagle, black winged kite, shikra, Pallas’s fishing eagle, spotted eagle, minivets, shrikes, babblers etc.
